Created 05/20/26 First time doing HTML signature

# Email Signature Import Windows

We are moving to HTML based email signatures. This allows us to embed hyperlinks on phone number, email, and the ARC8 logo. This will eliminate the error of our signature not loading correctly for some client recipients.

Please see the [Synology repository](https://cloud.arc8productions.com/d/f/18S6GN9dbVnh5xzCrURY8YHne82bzBgT) for your email signature file. See also: [eM Client Download](https://www.emclient.com/download?lang=en)
